All that diligent handwashing may be keeping bacteria at bay, but it’s doing a number on your nails, sapping the natural moisture needed to keep them strong. And while we love a glossy manicure, what’s the point when your nail beds look ragged? Thankfully, there’s Dutch import Trind, a line of nail treatments that targets every condition, from weakness to dryness. Already widely coveted in Europe, its star products include Moisturizing Nail Balsam, a vitamin-infused “carbon copy of your natural nail moisture,” says Verrijk Esthetic Supplies founder Robin Lee Kennedy, and Cuticle Repair Balsam, which “nourishes the root of the nail” with active ingredients such as d-panthenol and hyaluronic acid. Or conceal minor flaws with the Nail Brightener, what Lee Kennedy calls “the cheater’s French manicure.” From $12, at Tony Chaar Salon (9–11 Hazelton Ave., 416-920-9965, tonychaarsalon.com), Shea Coco Beauty Lounge (216 Heath St., 416-487-8282, sheacoco.com) and Verity Spa (111 Queen St. E., 416-368-6006, verityspa.ca).

This looks like just what I need for my soft, peeling nails. Where is it available outside Toronto, like Victoria, BC?
